Engine, a V4

Yep, I must have worked on about a hundred or so if you include the 95 (wagon) version.

I'd not seen it following me, but I'd stopped to look at the OS map, & heard it

Still a good looking car after all these years.

Monday 30th
Whilst heading out to collect the BWSOW this morning, I had a slight detour, & spotted this SD1

A Vanden Plas
Can't see on the (DVLA) MoT test data-base, so no idea if a 2600, or 3500

@figbat
Thanks

When I tried the MoT check, it just stated problem in finding this vehicle

Given its relatively close proximity to this Vanden Plas, I wonder if the same person owns both?

Do like an SD1, but the Mk2 never appealed as much as the Mk1.

What is that engine? I'm pretty sure it's nothing at all like the standard one.

Never heard one, though I dare say I might look on youtube shortly.

Have you had a listen yet?
